Drake (+7.5) @ Northern Iowa

What the h#ll is going on with this team?

[Newsbreaker]

We're not good, that's what's going on.

[KCPanther22]

Are we looking that bad tonight? I almost made the trip to CF tonight. What is going on???

5 for 24 from 3 is a big thing. We spotted DU 10 and couldn't come back. I think I might cry, I had such hopes after the way started the season. I think that keeps us out of the tourney for sure.

Piss poor shooting! We have no shooters no one who wants to take the shot! Lets just face it we are going to be seeing 2-3 zone the rest of the way and until our shooters can hit, we are screwed! Overall just a piss poor game by UNI, they are very out of control at times and no defense at all! MAC would of never let this crap happen, i don't know what jake is doing, but damn he needs to make some changes and get some urgency otherwise we might be missing out on the NIT!

You don't have to worry about the post-season this year. I don't feel sorry for them one bit. They're gettin exactly what they deserve. MVC title or no post-season games

At least our starters will be rested for Saturday......Oh wait, our starters averaged almost 36 minutes each (including 40 minutes by Brooks)

That just means with the whole thing in St. Louis.

[Blue42]

We had much better motion and ball movement for some stretches tonight. We actually were putting some pressure on the defense and forcing the action.

But there were stretches, like the last 8 minutes of the first half, where we were stagnant again. One guy handling the ball and four guys watching.

Still shooting too many threes. If we were hitting a few I'd feel better.

A better effort. Drake just made shots, or got fortuitous bounces of the ball, every time we got within a hoop.

Tough loss. I hate losing to Drake. They're such an afterthought in the Valley that it feels like you gave a free one away, and now we've given two.

[BMPanther]

Play F***ing Big E!!!!

[KCPanther22]

I don't know what to think to be honest. We can all see what the problem is and yet the team doesn't. If you aren't hitting the 3's, stop taking them. We needed to drive into the lane and we just keep sitting around the 3 line and throwing up shots. Whenever the ball goes inside we are good. The only time we make the 3's is when it's on a kick-out, yet we keep passing it around the perimeter and then launching another 3. I guess this team wants to live and die by the 3, and right now we're dieing.

[Macattackiowa]

bye bye NCAA's


We have to win arch madness to get in

[JayJ79]

our offense is as cold as the weather

[Purple member]

Out rebounded and a BIG FAT ZERO points off the bench

[ianuni57]

They played so well early in the season, it felt like they were as good as the past 3 years. I dont want to make excuses, but when you lose your coach and three solid seniors, the next year will be tough. I just expected to be so much better.

[PantherHawk]

I know some about the game of basketball, but when your against a 2-3 zone don't you want to penetrate and kick it out or drop it down low and then kick it out?? That is what Drake did to us and it worked, we are content with taking 3's with a hand in our face? I just don't get it, terrible effort by UNI!
